can operate with efficiency and equity un-
less the changes in the trade be closely
watched and the law be promptly adapted
TO such changes. Ii would make no
change to impair the protective character
of the whole body of tariff laws. -Four
years ago in the act of 1883 we
made changes of the character
which have tried TO indicate.
If such changes are made in fortifying the
sea coast, thus undertaken. at a very moder-
ate annual outlay. no surplus will be found
after that already accumulated has been dis
posed of. The outlay of money on fortifiea-
tions, while doing great service 10 the coun-
try, would give good work 10 many men.
The Presidents recommendations to admit
raw material, will not find strong support
by wise protectionists. Perhaps some greedy
manufacturers may think that with free coal
and free iron ore they can do great things
but if they should succeed in trying they will
catch it on the rebound. If the home trade
in raw material is destroyed or seriously in-
jured the railroads would be the first TO feel
it. If that vast interest is crippled in any di-
rection the financial fabric of the whole
country would feel it quickly and seriously
If any man can find reason why we should
arrange tariff TO favor raw material of
other countries in competition against our
materials of the same kind, | should like 10
hear it. l think if that recommendation
should be proved. it would turn 100, 900
American laborers out of employment before
the end of the year in operation. The Pres
ident's message will bring the country where
ii ought TO be brought To a full and fair con-
test on the question of protection.
The President himself makes i: ::one issue by
presenting no other. | think il is well To
have the question settled. The Democratic
party in power is standing menace 10 our
industrial prosperity. That menace should
be removed or the policy it foreshadows made
certain. Nothing is SO mischievous TO busi
ness as an uncertainty, nothing SO paralyzing
as doubt

debted for the unexampled developement
and prosperity.
To demonstrate the injustice of the Presi-
dents policy and the fallscy of the remedy
he proposes for a reduction of the surplus
we point to the fact that if the whole amount
of revenue derived frem the wool industry
would reduce the surplus only about S5,o0o,-
ooo, or less than ten cents per capita of the
population, which is paid by foreigners,
while the war revenues. which the President
recommends be retained, yield over Sll9.-
100000, is direct tax per capita of 50 each
and is what makes up the great bulk of the
surplus one hundred and forty millions which
fosters a most dangerous monopoly. We
would further add the following statistics in
regard TO the wool industry. The annual
revenue derived from the imports of wool
under the tariff of 81, was less than 81 1oo,-
ooo. Under the reduced tariff of 'SS the rev
enue last year was over 5000, 200. The
number of sheep in the country in 'S4 was
50,626, ,626; in 81, "A, 4,559.Sl4 a decrease of
nearly 5000 900, diminution of the annual
wool product of over 5000, 900 pounds
thus showing that reducing the tariff by the
act Of 'SS increased the revenue from inn
ported wool and diminished the number of
sheep in the United States about twelve per
cent. and the annual product in the same
proportion.
The Presidents policy would bring about
the destruction of this industry. The same
policy of reduction or the abolition of the
tariff would end i'll disaster to all other indus
trial enterprises of the country.
An interesting paper was read by President
Merrill f. Gates of Rutgers College. upon

Report OF State Steamboat Inspectors.

To the honorable Gorernor and Council:
We have examined 81 steam vessels, to SO
of which we have issued certificates. One
was condemned as unseaworthy and one was
refused a certificate because its boiler was
made of cast iron and the oil tank (kerosene
oil being used for fuel) being in dangerous
proximity to the boiler. Several vessels
heretofore inspected have not been examin-
ed for the following reasons, viz: Steamer
minnie Midge' at Norway, has been con-
demned, and gone out of service. Steam
er "Sappho at Portland has not been In
service this season. Steamer Mabel At
Madison has been laid up pending litigation.
Steamer ''lsland Belle" at Oxford, has not
been in use. Steamer, IN. T.. Cove" at
Island Falls has ceased running az a passen-
ger vessel and is used only for towing pur-
poses. Steamer "Sebago" at Harrison has
been laid up as unservicable. Steamer
Lady of the Lake at Newport, has been
condemned. Steamer Greenwood" at Se-
bee was found to be unfit for
service and her boiler unsafe.
Steamer ''Mayfower' has been trans
ferred from Oakland to North Anson
and no application has been received for her
inspection. Steamer "Waubenauke" has not
been in service since 1886 The following
new vessels have been added to the service
this year, viz: "Queen, Comet" Louise"
Hawthorne, 'Titwillow," Marion" BASS
Hole" Mary "" and Twilight" There
have been G3 masters and SO engineers IL
censed this year, the fees for whom, a. also

HON. ]. ". LONGLEY
Attorney General Of Nova Scotia.
Tells the American People that the
Fishery Question is Only a Pre-
text Concealing More
Important Issues.
PORTLAND. Dec.

PORTLAND, Dec. :.
Tomorrow the Argus which has presented
several important enterprises in connection
with the discussion of the fishery question
and free trade relation between the United
States and Canada, will print very striking
letter addressed to its editor hy Hon. J. W.
Longley, Attorney General of Novia Scotia
who talks very frankly to the American
people. Mr.. Longley tells the people
through the Argus that it is a misfortune
that on both sides of the line the question is
odscured by party prejudices The views
of both countries are widely different, but
these matters of whether there shall be free
fishing in Canadian waters or that American
fishermen shall be shut ont is not and never
has been burning question there. There
has been ten times more feeling and excite
ment over the squabbes in the States than in
Canada. The question in the United States
appeals to national sentiment and both par
ties have pandered to the demands of the
small industry. Nine-tenths of the mem
retaliatory measures have 10 interest in the
subject, nor hate the people they represent.
Canada enforces the treaty of 1878
not because of any vast interests in
yoved but simply because its Interpretation
warrants tAe action which has been taken,
and because the American policy for the
past twenty years has been ungenerous in
regard to trades and the relations towards
Canada Therefore the Importance of the
present difficulty, from the Canadian stand
point, is not the treaty of ISIS nor the pro-
ties, which are the solution of the difficulty,
opens in the way of enlarged trade relations
between the two countries. Mr.. Longley
then proceeds to argue that the great Amer
lean nation, with its boundless resources aud
enormous wealth, shoall put aside its pride
and prejudces. as shown in some of its emf
ucnt statesmen and great new spapers, and
with its 60 900 ,oo0 OF population and great
cities, pursue a generous policy towards a
young nation of 1000, 900 population, lying
side by side and speaking the same language
The American people have nothing to feai
from their closest relations with Canada. a.
under the reciprocity treaty of 1884 to 1866
the balance of trade was on the side of the
states by over 50 900 900 a year for clever
years, while the fishing industry in that time
enjoyed volume and prosperity which it has
never since attained. More intimate trade
relations ar desired as the various provinces
composing the Dominion have no natura
trade with each other, while each of then
does with the bordering States of the Union.
The benefits would be mutual, but Mr.. Long
ley said the idea has met with opposition in
both countries, and at this moment its con.
summation seems a matter of grave doubt
1t is the duty of Canadians to discover intiu-
ences which will prevent its accomplish
ment.

A BROTHERS. REVENGE.
His Murder Of His Sisters Assailant
Generally Approved.

OMAHA. NEB.. March 2I.-Dr. G. w.
Randall. of Hastings, was shot in Court
here Saturday by the brother of young
girl, Ella Hart. aged eleven, of Edgar.
whom he assaulted criminaIly while she
was under his care for treatment. Ran
dali was arraigned Saturday for the
crime. which was committed a week be-
fore. The examination was closed and
Randall had been placed under SO, 900
bonds. The brother of the child suddenly
drew a revolver and shot Randall dead
The murderer. young Hart, with the
smoking pistol in his hand ,coolly walked
out of the court room. no one attempt
ing. not even the Sheriff, whom he
passed ON the stairway, to arrest him.
At the time Young Hart was unknown
to the crowd.
The evidence showed that Randall and
his wife, who was also ON trial, have
made a trade of running young girls and
then putting them in houses of iIl-fame.
She had assisted her husband to assault
Ella Hart. Threats of lynching her
were freely made by the enraged pop
ulace, and the probability is that if her
husband had not been shot both would
have been mobbed. and very likely
lynched. Sine was taken to her board
ing house, and fully 800 men followed
( with the determination of committing
violence \ strong guard, however,
protected the woman, who put on a suit
of her husbands clothes. and with an
escort made her escape. She was taken
10 Grand Island in a carriage, with a
guard of twenty-five men.
Hastings people threaten to mob her
when she is brought back for trial. No
effort will be made TO prosecute young
/ Hart for the killing of DIR. Randall. Mr..
Hart, the father of the girl. was in the
court room when the shooting was done.
and. after Randall fell. he rushed up and
kicked the corpse and satisfied himsel I
I that the man was dead.
